How is Trixie? When she ran out of Ponyville, word spread around Equestria about her. Now, she is just the laughing stock of whatever city she visits.

Chapter 1

Trixie perked up her head and then lowered it. She rolled her eyes at her star-themed cape while she put it away in her messy closet. She didn't bother cleaning up, for she was far too busy trying to impress the local ponies at whatever town she would preform at. Almost every show would end with an angry mob running the mare out of town, or just booing at her until she left. It was rare now if even she had a few fans, like those two from Ponyville. Before the incident at Ponyville, her shows were more popular and had cheers of excitement instead of yells with disgust in them, but then word spread around about the boastful pony. Her shows started to get less popular, less and less people would show, unless if it was to mob her out of town

She couldn't stop preforming though, she still needed money for food and her repairs for her trashy mobile home. She didn't bother applying for a job. She knew she wouldn't get hired because of her selfish past, and besides Trixie despised manual labor.

She had not met one pony who has forgiven her. They all just walk away from her direction and ignore Trixie.

It was night, and Trixie could not sleep. She watched the glowing moon out of the close-by window. She then rolled in her bed with thoughts about tomorrow. She was going to preform at "New Colt City", one of the biggest cities in Equestria. Looks like Trixie is going to have to be run out again.... She thought while she let out a sigh with a frown and closed her eyes. Every bit counts for this mare.

Trixie stretched out her hoofs. Her eyes were squinting as she looked out her window, pushing away at the curtains that matched her cape. Celestia's sun was too bright, but the weather was perfect other than a little windy.

"*Sigh* Another beautiful day for Trixie. Trixie do hopes that this time she is at least treated more fairly."

She then levitated a nearby brush and and brushed her mane very gently, while she watched her own reflection in the mirror. Each time she would brush her mane more slowly. She then put the brush down and walked towards her dresser and opened the drawer. In there was her cape and hat, so she took them out and unfolded them. She straightened them and put them on her bed . Trixie then bent down pulled out a book from under her well-made bed and skimmed through it, looking for what spells she was going to preform. She was tired of doing the same old things. She felt she was being predictable or repetitive.

"All of these are the same! Trixe needs something different, something more....exciting!!"

She ended up looking through her whole home for a book she might have never seen or lost for new and better tricks, but alas, she couldn't find anything. She stared out the window and noticed Luna's bright moon was starting to rise. What?! I spent the whole day looking for a book? It doesn't matter anyways... I'll just do the same thing again!

Trixie had chosen to preform at night. She thought it was better, for the fireworks and light looked much better as she spontaneously flew out in front of the curtains. It would use to work, drawing attention and forming crowds to see what was happening, but now when they would see Trixie pop out from behind the curtains, they would either laugh at her or just walk away in anger saying they just wasted their time with the has-been mare.

She was starting to get ready, checking over her star cape, and brushing her mane even if it is going to be hidden under her enormous hat. Then she proceeded to brush her tail and then she was ready. But little distractions started to pop up which would get her attention. Trixie! Stop stalling your self! She thought. Trixie can't let these mere pesky distractions make her miss her own show! "Maybe Trixie should practice a little. If Trixie is hated, she wants to be know as just selfish instead of unskilled..."

Her horn glowed and out of no where she made a vase full of roses appear. They were filled with water and some spilled on her hat and a bit on her cape. She just ignored it and continued to do her next trick. Her horn glowed again and she made a black silk hat pop up. Trixie then made the hat face towards the floor, showing that there was nothing in there. Her horn glowed once again carrying a small bunny out the hat that resembled Angel.

After a few minutes of practicing her magic, Trixie then rolled up her cart towards the middle of a street filled with stallions and mares walking around. Her kart opened with her saying in a loud boom "The Great and Powerful Triiiixxxxxiiieee!" Everyone watched the display of fireworks set off as Trixie burst out from behind the curtains. She waited for at least a few ponies to stomp or cheer her at least, but instead of that, there was only laughter from the little fillies and mutters of disgust from the older audience members. One pony started to boo at her, then another joined in. Soon enough, the whole crowd started booing at Trixie. Trixie bowed infront of the displeased audience and tried to conjure up the bouquet of flowers. Okay Trixie. She thought. Don't let these ponies stop you from doing your job. This is one of the easiest tricks in the book. With a swift from her magic, Trixie made a group of roses appear in a neat bouquet, with yellow and green stripes.

The crowd of ponies just laughed at Trixie and her simple little trick. Trixie was tired of all the laughing and ignorance around her. She couldn't take it anymore. With that she just stomped her hoof which made a spectacular noise almost as loud than the sonic rainboom. The audience watched with a blank expression on their faces. They had stopped talking and hushed down as if someone turned down the volume slowly to a radio.

"Trix....I mean "I" have changed! I am no longer the boastful pony you still think I am! I am tired of all of this. I always wanted forgiveness but you ponies do not give it to me. I have learned my lesson, but none of you, nor all of Equestria see that!"

Instead of continuing her act, Trixie went back behind her stage cart and pushed it back to a secluded part of the city. Ignoring the comments of the cruel crowd behind her.

Chapter 2

The wind pushing the branches, making a sound that hushes down little by little. Luna's moon was shinning brightly at the forest's floor, being shaded away by the rustling trees. The weak wind whistled in to Trixie's ears, blowing her tears away to the side.

Trixie patted the ground. She had hidden herself in the farthest forest she could travel to, for she did not want to be bothered. No one would be in this menacing forest, but Trixie didn't care. All she wanted was to be left alone with her thoughts. She covered her whole face with her hat, each tear making a dark ring wherever it landed. Soon enough her whole hat was covered in her tears, so she just threw it as far as she could, blending in with the dark shades made by the trees.

She decided to just stop. "There is no purpose to continue this act. It all started because of that MARE. What was her name again...Twilight I think. If she had not defeated the Ursaminor, I would still be the main attraction! Everywhere I would have gone to, there would have been stallions and mares with their fillies lining up to see me. The great and Powerful Trixie. I owe all this misery to Twilight Sparkle. Her magic was very advanced, but that is only because of her teacher Princess Celestia taught her everything she knows!"

Trixie then stood up wiping away her tears with her hoof. "I do not think anypony will ever forgive me though. Throughout this entire time, I have yet to meet one pony who sees I have changed. They all just see me and do not give me a single chance!"

She took a look at her hat which didn't go very far. She stared at it for a few moments, walking closer and closer towards it. She remembered when she got that hat, it made her the pony she is today. She was just a filly playing in her school's playground alone. She did not even have a cutie mark yet but she did really desire doing magic for her parents. The spells she preformed as a filly are the same ones she still does now.

Trixie was very different back then. She was more kind and sweeter, but something changed her. Her own talent.

Trixie arrived at her house when her mother greeted her. Trixie replied with a soft Hello.

"Guess what I got for you?" Her mother said in a teasing voice.

Trixie's eyes grew wide."Ooo! What is it?!"

Her mother pulled out a purple hat covered in stars of different sizes and colors. Trixie jumped in excitement while she put it on. The whole hat covered her entire face, resulting in trixie's 'thank you' to her mother, in to a mumbled pair of words. Her mother laughed at her daughter's glee.

"Why don't you put another show for your father and me now that you have a 'more spectacular' appearance."

Trixie lifted up her hat and nodded at her mother.

She was so excited about the present her mother gave her. She was filled with joy, but with new appearances means new tricks. So she asked her mother to say if it was okay to delay the show.

"Why? I thought you loved to do magic," her mother said pretending to be confused.

"I do, but I want to learn NEW spells. I really want to impress you and father, and maybe in the future, all of Equestria. So I must practice!"

Trixie's mother chuckled then agreed. Trixie then ran towards her room with excitement and locked her door so she would not be disturbed as she learned her new trick. She spent all night working on them. She was learning on how to make something disappear then reappear. She would use her stuffed animals as the test subjects, but she never got the hang of it. She then gave up for the night. Trixie was exhausted after a night of learning magic, even if it was only one spell. She then tucked herself in her covers and drifted off to sleep.

As Celestia's sun rose, so did Trixie out of her bed. Her mane looked like it had been rubbed to a balloon pulling it away from her head, twisting and curving.. She let out a yawn then tossed her covers aside and ran towards her spell book. The despondent filly continued to do the spell she was trying to master last night, but all that would proceed from her horn would be dead sparks flying away then disappearing. She began to lose hope until she tried it one last time. The blue stuffed animal vanished as Trixie opened up her eyes."Mr. Bunny!?" She was astonished at this sight, it was her first time she made something disappear, but she still needed it to reappear.

She closed her eyes and grunted as her horn stared to glow. Sparks getting stronger, and then her almond colored bunny reappeared sure enough. At her first time making something reappear again, she had done it. She screamed with delight resulting in both of her parents to check up on her. Rushing as fast as they could. Both parents pounded on the door which was locked. Trixie jumped off her chair and opened it for her worried parents.

"Is everything okay Trixie!?" Her mother questioned.

"Sorry if I woke you up, mother and father, but I really wanted to impress you both with my new spell."

"Oh...is that it? Okay. Be careful now and don't do anything dangerous okay Trixie?"

"I won't!"

It had reached the afternoon and the sky made a dark red color at the atmosphere. Trixie began to build her own stage at this time. Her parents would ask her if she needed any help, but she would decline and say 'I have to do it all on my own'. As she put the finishing touches to her mini stage, she began to get a bit nervous even if it was only her own mother and father. She ignored the thoughts and continued decorating. Her confidence rising as she picked up her stuffed bunny, setting it down on a wooden chair. She had spent all day working on the stage, for she had forgotten to practice her own spell.

As her parents sat down, Trixie was on the other side of her stage. Her purple hat poked out the front of the curtain as she made her own sound effects, twisting and wobbling as it made her parents giggle. Trixie then jumped from behind the curtains and whistled a royal song which was used when a royal guest appeared, signifying she was ready.

She smiled as she watched her mother and father clap. She then bowed and pulled out her stuffed animal from behind her.

"Watch as I make Mr. bunny disappear!" Trixie yelled out confidently.

Her parents replied with an 'Ooo'.

Trixie thoughts were only on looking nice while she was preforming, only for her eyes to drop as she pulled out her stuffed animal. She had remembered that she never got the chance to practice. I do not need to worry! Thought Trixie. If I did it once, I can do it again.

Her horn glowed, and so did her bunny. Her bunny began to levitate weakly,until it just plopped down showing a blast of dust. Trixie then tried again, closing her eyes and hoping when she opened them, 'Mr. Bunny' would be gone.

She grew in disappointment as she tried her best to make her bunny disappear. Her head started to ache as she made her last attempt. She dropped down to the floor gasping for air. She covered her face, not wanting her parents to see her cry. They rushed over to comfort Trixie.

"I'm sorry mom and dad. I just really wanted to impress you both, but I forgot to practice and failed you both."

They both laughed and Trixie pulled her face away from her hat. "Why are you both laughing?" Trixie said with a baffled look on her face.

"We don't care if you didn't pull the trick off. You have plenty of tries to do so. No matter what happens, you will always be our great and powerful Trixie."

Trixie hugged her parents tightly and smiled.

Chapter 3

"What happened to me...I was so different back then. Now I'm inconsiderate. My parents believed in me, they always thought I was going to become something in life."

Trixie lay on her cape using it as a little mattress, thinking back on her own life. She grew tired as her eyes were starting to sag, so she began to make her way out the menacing forest. She started to shiver in fear as Trixie heard the animals growl at her presence, making her more uncomfortable. Her thoughts were on only getting out this terrifying forest. The darkness that surrounded her made it almost a bit impossible for her to see having almost no vision at all.

Eventually after a while of searching her way out of the dark forest, she finally managed to get out. Her eyes squinted as she looked at the bright city. Her pupils dilated as she walked closer to the alive urban territory. She used her hat to cover her face, wanting not to be seen by the other ponies and then mobbed out of town. Her face would turn red every time she would bump in to someone on accident. She changed her tone of voice to apologize with ' pardon me ' or ' sorry, excuse me now '. The ponies would just ignore her or yell saying to watch where she was walking.

She made it to her wagon with little attention towards herself, but no one followed Trixie. She would constantly check outside carefully, not wanting to be followed. Her mind then set off, and she drifted off to sleep forgetting about closing the curtains when she had checked for the last time.

Trixie woke up with her eyes semi-swollen. Her eyes were puffed up from her crying. She then remembered how when she was just a filly, her day would start off with excitement as she would learn new spells and her parents would cheer her on. She was one of the happiest fillies ever in Equestria. Now her mornings are filled with dread.

Trixie's stomach growled loudly, forcing her to stop and look at it. She walked towards her food closet, not much was available which is the reason she eats very little during the day, but she doesn't let it bother her much.

"Soon, I might have to humiliate myself again to get more money for food. I really despise my life."

There was thoughts Trixie made about dying her mane a different color and painting out her cutie mark to something the job is related to, but that was the last thing she was going to do. It was HER talent. She wanted to be recognized for her and her special talent, but she screwed up the first time which resulted her in to this life full of despair and regret.

Her day continued on with just memories of her own life. When she was little until the mare she is today. She missed the good times she and her parents had, but then Trixie started to become more boastful and started to say she would be the most magical unicorn in all of Equestria. She even said she would know more magic than Celestia herself, but her true skills were identified after her visit in Ponyville.

She started to become for independent after she had gotten her cutie mark. She believed that she was the greatest pony ever. She soon began to be more self-centered, and decided to make her own shows for different ponies everywhere. Trixie would either ignore her parents or disobey them and get in to arguments with them. Soon enough, Trixie was old enough to travel all on her own. She said goodbye to her weeping parents and then left towards Baltimare.

She had saved enough money so she can get her own wagon, which was soon destroyed. She impressed a few ponies from time to time. They would be blinded from her magical acts and fireworks, instead of noticing her bragging behavior. Soon she had fans, mostly little fillies and colts, and she was proud of herself.

Trixie's day passed as she thought of her foalhood. She wished she could go back in time and restart everything, but she was clueless of the time spell. Trixie then opened her eyes wide as she heard a faint knock on her door.

Did anypony follow me? Thought Trixie. Please just let it be my imagination.

She tip toed towards her window, trying to at least see who it was, but she nearly tripped as the visitor knocked again, making Trixie shiver in fear. She peaked trough the window getting a glimpse of a stallion. His figure shape resembled Mr. Cakes and so did his fur, but a lighter yellow. His cutie mark was a shooting star surrounded by others and tiny sparkles.

Trixie was afraid to answer the door, her fear got the best of her. Soon after a few minutes, the stallion pulled out a piece of paper and began to write on it. He finished and threw the pencil in to his hat and slipped the paper under Trixie's door. She jumped and almost let out a tiny shriek, but she covered her mouth with her hoof. When she looked back outside, the stallion was gone.

She wondered why he was there. A pony who despised her would have stayed and called for others, but this one just left a note. Her attention then went on to the piece of paper folded neatly on the floor. She opened it up and gasped.

If this is not the Great and Powerful Trixie then I apologize, but if it is, please be here tomorrow in your wagon. I want to talk to you about something. Don't worry, I am not planning to scream at you in anger or anything harmful like that. It's just a little conversation.

Sincerely,

S.S.

Trixie heart rested in relief as she was no longer scared because of the reassurance. She laughed at her silliness and then she wondered why was the stallion here a few minutes ago. She continuously reread the note in confusion wondering if she should trust this stranger in agreeing to this 'conversation'.

Chapter 4

Trixie had been waiting all throughout the afternoon, but nobody ever showed up. She gazed out her window. "I knew I shouldn't have took this to heart.."

Trixie scowled at herself, but she heard a yell in the distance. Her face brightened up as she saw the stallion from yesterday, known as S.S. She then lessened her smile as she greeted him with a wave.

"Ms. Trixie, it is a pleasure to finally meet you." the mysterious stallion said, "I'm sure.". She was nervous, it had been months since Trixie had met a pony willing to talk to her. The fact that a stallion was standing before her, not yelling, was a bit shocking. She then invited him in her wagon. He thanked her and started to talk.

"Why hello Miss Trixie! Nice to meet you. From what I understand your shows haven't been gaining very much money or 'good' attention from what I see. Now listen, I know this is a little sudden but I know how you can get your life back on track."

"Well, it's just not that. It's been so long since I've talked to anypony. I want to erase all the stuff I did in the past and want to ponies to remember me as kind-hearted. If all of that is remembered, then there is no point in helping me." Trixie said, ending her statement before her guest would hear her voice crack up.

"I see, well, do you remember the 'Flim Flam Brothers'?" He said with a sigh looking down at the wooden floor.

"Why yes, they were one of the top sales ponies of cider, until ponies found out about their competitiveness and cheating ways. It's been so long since the last time I heard them."

"Yes, I had helped them get famous, but they ruined it. Who knows where they are now! They also gave me a bad name." His voice changed to a bit of anger, but he calmed down.

It had been a few hours of Trixie and her guest talking to each other. It had only felt like minutes for Trixie as she was interested to every single word the stallion would say. Trixie found out that this stallion is well known all over Equestria. More importantly, he is known for giving other ponies better popularity. She thought if he could help her have a better reputation, all of her bad times would be over and her past erased from history by her soon to be fans, but the last ponies that he helped were Flim and Flam, and from his point of view, they must have caused his reputation to go a little bad which worried Trixie a little.

As the conversation was coming to an end, Trixie remembered a question she was going to ask the nice stallion.

"Why me?"

"Excuse me?" He looked at her with a face of confusion.

"Why would you help 'me'? I have a terrible reputation and I am always hated wherever I go. Surely, if you help me, no pony will ever associate with you either. Not a single pony has talked to me, well at least without threatening remarks and the same thing will happen to you.'

He just laughed as Trixie stayed silent. He quieted down knowing Trixie was being very serious.

"I love to help ponies. I was at your last show and I witnessed your anger towards the crowd...and you were serious by the tone of your voice and motions. I felt sorry for you, so I decided to help! Same for Flim and Flam, but they had lied. They never did change and look at their consequences. Most likely living in a gutter somewhere. You're not lying...are you?"

"Heh, I assure you I am not. Do you think I would waste this opportunity? Risking it, chance of being caught and resuming to my terrible life? Never!" She paused as she found out she was getting a bit loud as the stallion looked at her with wide eyes. "Oh...I apologize for raising my voice. Oh! And one more thing, how did you even find me? My wagon is far from town near the forests. Did someone tell you?" She said with a puzzled look.

"You bumped in to me. You left before I had the chance to tell you about my offer. It was quite funny as I saw you walk off running in to more ponies." He chuckled.

Trixie blushed and turned away, causing her to giggle remembering how silly she must have looked.

Some more time passed as the two conversed with each other. Trixie spoke more about her life making her feel a little depressed as she spoke of the stuff she regretted doing. The boastful pony changed from being arrogant, in to being more kinder and aware of her actions. The stallion listened to her story as how she had changed completely.

It had been a long day of talking, and the helpful stallion had to go to attend some important stuff the next day. As he departed, waving goodbye to Trixie, he sighed. Meeting another pony with a sorrowful life. It was normal for him, meeting a pony with a awful life, but it still made him heartbroken.

As he disappeared in to the distance, Trixie had a rush of thoughts. She then wondered how he was going to help her. "Is he going to introduce me or put a show on where I am the main attraction?" Trixie went back in to her wagon. She tried to remember if there was any other ponies that rised out of nowhere, but none came to mind. She wondered all night, but every night is full of thoughts for Trixie. She had little excitement of the thought of being famous again, but with a better title instead of being selfish.

The sun rised as Trixie heard the rooster's call. She had barely any sleep and there was nothing she was planning to do that day, so she decided to sleep in for the day. When she woke it was already sunset. Her whole day wasted and Trixie was still tired. She ignored the fact that she was growing lazy for a few days, but it didn't effect her whatsoever.

Trixie was having a good sleep when it was interrupted by a knock on her rusty door. She jumped even though it was a soft knock. She couldn't believe no visitors for a while would make her this scared of guests. As she tumbled towards her door, the voice of the stallion was heard.

"Uh..Miss Trixie? It's me! Don't worry, I'm alone." He said trying to hide his little chuckle.

Trixie cleared her eyes and ran towards the door. Yawning before she opened it.

"Yes?" She said.

"Did I disturb you from sleep? It's very late. I apologize if I scared you, and for laughing."

"Oh no, it's fine. I apologize if I am a mess. What brings you here?" She said already knowing the answer.

"Well don't you want to get a start on restarting your reputation?"

"Yes!" Trixie said with content.

"Well then we better get going then."

Chapter 5

Months had passed since the meeting of Trixie and 'S. S.'. Their attempts at making Trixie famous was growing, but few times there was little success. For example, when S. S. tried to give out his word for Trixie in front of a crowd of ponies, they would boo at him; saying all he wants his fame for himself. Ponies would also lose respect when they woud hear this or when he would yell at other ponies when they would remind him of Flim and Flam. It would happen often and he was tired of it. He mentioned he would have never helped them if he knew, but everypony didn't believe him. Trixie would look scared when the stallion grew furious at the crowds, ruining bit of her chances of forgiveness from them.

Trixie would preform a little. Some ponies enjoyed her shows, yet there was only a small number of them. They heard she had changed, so they gave her a chance while others, mostly the majority of the ponies, did not. She was happy for a moment; until S. S. cracked. He couldn't stand the rude comments made to him anymore by the unforgiving crowd.

He entered Trixie's wagon steaming with anger. He was stomping with every step he took, and his eyes twitched with every movement. He looked like he was starting to go insane. Trixie jumped being startled by his stomping.

"Um, are you okay?" Questioned Trixie turning her head.

"I'm sorry for my behavior, but I must go. Surely you can continue without me." His expression calming down.

"But why?! We doing great so far!"

"I'm not used to this kind of treatment. I have been hated by few, but there was never any conflict I had with others. I know you have had it worse then me the past months, but like I said, I am not used to this. Sincere apologies Miss Trixie." He said exiting the wagon.

Trixie stood still. Her expression was emotionless. She knew without his help, there was no reason to continue on with the shows. The reason some gave her a chance was because he was with Trixie; which brought attention, for he was very popular. His popularity resembled Fancy Pants'; everypony followed his decisions, hoping to get noticed by him. All of their decisions varied on his, but know it changed. Trixie did not know what he did to gain this much popularity with this much ponies. He never told her anything about him that much, just a few remarks about his life once in a while.

Trixie stared at the trees by her wagon. The wind pushing them to a side where it would scare the birds in to flying away. She grew tired of her life like this. When something looked like it was going to turn out good, it ended up going the oppisite way.

The sun shined in the center of the sky; some light being blocked away from the clouds being kicked away from the pegasi. The birds chirped a familiar tune throughout the sky as they flew. It was a glorious day and everypony was happy; all but one of course.

Trixie thought it was pointless to carry on with her day. She was woken up by the birds with their beautiful sounds and rhythm. She slowly opened her eyes, closing the curtain wanting no light in her home. After a few minutes, she could no longer sleep. Her thoughts that had once disappeared, flooded back in to her mind. She fell back in to her bed when she heard a knock on her door with giggles.

"Maybe some filies or colts wanting to pull a prank on me." She said with a toneless voice.

As she opened the door, there was two small fillies, still with no cutie mark. One a unicorn and the other was an earth pony. The earth pony hid behind her friend, scared to be acknowledged by Trixie, while her other friend watched in awe as Trixie asked what did they want. She was still staring at Trixie, not answering her recent question. What caught Trixie off guard was that one of the fillies had a picture of her sticking out of her saddle bag.

The earth fillie grew out of her state of fear and decided to speak, but she struggled to get the words out of her mouth.

"Um, Trixie, m-me and my f-friend are your biggest fans. Can we have your autograph?"

"Why, yes of course." Trixie said with a little confusion.

The fillies gave her their picture of Trixie and she signed them both. Both fillies, filled with glee, thanked Trixie and ran off giggling.

"Was this some trick or am I missing something?" Whispered Trixie to herself.

She was confused for a moment. Nopony has ever asked for an autograph for a long period of time according to Trixie. It was strange for her but yet she was filled with joy. Even if it was just two small fillies, it didn't matter to her.

As time passed, Trixie gained more publicity. She had finally decided to do her shows once more and some actually turned out good. With new magic tricks and a better attitude, she was finally starting to get a positive response from her audience. Of course there was some hatred towards her, but it lowered every time. After a while she was glad with her performances and it didn't matter anymore to her if ponies didn't like her show. As long as she is doing what she admires the most, she will stay happy.

While at one of her own shows, Trixie stopped at the beginning of her performance. The crowd mumbled to themselves and one another in confusion. Then they hushed down as they saw Trixie preparing to speak aloud.

"I'm sorry for the delay, but I'd like to say a few words. Well one reason some of you may started to watch my shows is because of the stallion that was with me. He never mentioned his name to me; just his initials, but I really wanted to thank him. Even if he isn't here, he still helped me. And also I thank you all for giving me another chance to redeem myself."

The crowd cheered very loudly. Trixie bowed covering her tears with her hat. She remembered when she would hide her tears of sorrow. Now, it's tears of happiness. She was filled with joy that she managed to successfully change her life. And if only her parents would see, she would know they would be prouder.

The show ended and it was nighttime. Everypony was asleep including Trixie. The stars and the moon shined bright enough to see were you were going. This is usually the time where Trixie would complain of her thoughts keeping her up. But no, she was fast asleep. She missed the nights she had having perfect sleep, not caring about what was going to happen later in the future. And now, her wish came true.

As Celestia's sun rose, Trixie woke up with ease. Every moment would remind her of something. How she dreaded to wake up, and how she wouldn't even be awake at this time. She laughed at her past, wanting no remembrance of it, but something always came up making her to think back.

As she exited her wagon, Trixie made her way to the forest near by. She glimpsed through all the trees, giving off an aroma every time the wind brushed them. She stopped as she came upon the center of the forest. It was where she ran off to, where she was at her saddest moment. Trixie sighed. "So much has changed. I'm glad it did. It seems so vivid now, I was drowning in my own tears."

She made her way out of the forest, not wanting to remember that moment.
